A couple days ago, I went inside for reasons I don't recall and found that somebody had vandalized the hall of tears by arranging all the bodies into the words "TEARS *****." I'd post a screen, but I would get in trouble for evading the profanity filter. After I and a friend rearranged the bodies back into orderly rows, I decided on a whim to clean up providence and it soon became apparent that the hall might not have enough space. I still have yet to move the bodies from the cemetery itself, there are a few more skeletons piled up near the barn and the wagons, and also the skeletons on the island west of town and buried underneath the buildings in town. Also a few inside hovels around town.
In the following image, the three rows closest to the west wall on the left were in the hall when I started, and a little more that half the skeletons on the right side were moved from the valley of thorns with the assistance of a mysterious and helpful stranger whose name I forgot to ask. Whoever you are I once again thank you, both for your assistance and your gifts.
Aaaand, I learned some things. About salem, and about the community. Mostly about the community.
People are not nearly as ***** as I thought they would have been. No one tried to screw with me or stop me from doing what I was doing, except kuku who ambushed me with a hug as I walked through the center of town or the various people who wanted to know what I was doing. Those don't count though, as they are things not meant to hinder me.
People leave a lot of valuable stuff in barrels. Somebody left some glass bottles and about 10KG of sugar in a barrel. I also came across a pane of glass and somebody else I talked too today found one of the barrels loaded with silver ore. He could have been lying of course, but it wouldn't surprise me after having found the glass.
People can be surprisingly talkative without being overly offensive. My assumption was that just like in legacy haven, any encounter with another player that involved speaking would result in an inability to understand one another, insults, death, or a combination of those three things. Perhaps it is a result of people being unable to attack each other in town.
There is a great deal more going on in providence than it seems. I watched people come and go, gather into groups to go raid or explore, and conduct trades. They would stand around having silent conversations, and I would wonder what they were talking about. I noticed the church saw heavy use as well. It certainly wasn't as dull as it was made out to be.
lastly, hauling a single skeleton takes a hell of a long time. If you take a skeleton from where jordan gramsey is standing and carry it to the hall of tears, it takes about 3 minutes, not counting the time it takes to rotate the skeleton to place it into it's row. Considering it takes no more than ten seconds to sprint that distance, I'd say that's a long time.
Anyways, I had a question. My question is directed towards the devs and it is this; If the hall of tears is filled, will it be expanded? What will happen to the bodies?
